Common Causes of Anion gap metabolic acidosis:
1.Lactic acidosis: Hypoxia, poor tissue perfusion, mitochondrial dysfunction
2. Ketoacidosis: Type I diabetes, starvation or alcoholism
3. Methanol ingestion : Formic acid accumulation
4. Ethylene glycol ingestion : Glycolic and oxalic acid accumulation
5. Salicylate poisoning: Causes concomitant respiratory alkalosis
6. Uremia (ESRD): Failure to excrete H+ as NH4+
